Im looking at possibly purchasing a 59 plate Cooper D. Its got a full service history and 52k on the clock. Whats the general reliability like with the 1.6 PSA engine in these? I've heard there could be problems with oil sludging and turbo failure on these engines? Is this a common problem? Anything else to note about these engines?

Thanks.

I forgot about this thread! Thanks for the response, your SD looks very nice!

I ended up buying a Focus Zetec S 1.6 TDCI - It has the later DV6-C engine I believe which has revisions over the original flawed engine.
